First off, congrats. The text tool especially is a fantastic addition and a game-changer.
Unfortunately neither installer works for me on Windows 11. They both âfailed to remove the previous versionâ. Iâm going to try and remove it manually, then attempt another install.
Ok, I canât uninstall 5.2. Windows blocks the uninstaller and thereâs no way around it. Why, microsoft ? why ?
Ok, solved. For anyone else encountering this, I had to disable a thing called âsmart app controlâ which is found in âWindows securityâ. Once this is disabled, I can uninstall Krita 5.2 and install the new version. In fact, I suppose it was this thing which made the new version install fail silently. Good [redacted] god

Woohoo, excited for this update. Pop-up palette docker is magic for my canvas view setup on android. Thanks for the hard work, so many good updates this release!

Welp.
It has been released with a laggy UI issue, which I believe has been fixed only the day before yesterday. The 26th of this month to be exact.
The previous version runs like a charm, but the latest version completely wrecks my PCâs performance, and I donât understand why.

Hello @irisring543, and welcome to the forum!
Go to this post and download that bug fix version from there or wait a week or so for the official update:

Hi, all!
If someone still has this slowdown issue, please download the upcoming 5.3.1 package from here, it has a fix for that: link
UPD:
It might also be nice to test them before the actual release

Awesome update! The new text workflow is amazing! The previous workflow was a bit tedious, to be honest. Now Krita has become a really powerful design tool for text-related work!
Iâm also loving the Propagate Colors filter 
, is really helpful for game development!
Thanks to the team for their awesome work!

It works perfectly! So far, I havenât had any problemsâno more lag in the menus.
Edit: I found another issueâthe pop-up menu on the toolbar doesnât fit the tool options.

The âText Toolâ has a larger font size in the âTool Optionsâ compared to other tools.
was there anything for animation? I looked through and didnt see anything, but just wanted to ask just to make sure.
The changelog specifies that holding Ctrl+Alt with free transform will allow you to rotate the transform box, but it simply does nothing for me? Is this a bug?
I also canât find a keybind entry for it at all, so I canât even check that itâs using the right keycodes.
EDIT: tested on both 5.3 and 6.0, works on neither.
The associated canvas input is under Alternate Invocation, âSample Foreground Color from Current Layerâ or âSample Background Color from Current Layerâ. The former is bound to Ctrl+Alt+Left Click by default, which is where the manual claims come from. I donât know how intentional that actually is, it might come from some incorrect naming in the code, but Iâve submitted a correction to the manual in that regard.
